<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TommyP, post: 2634000, member: 80814&quot;]That sounds fairly logical coming from an amateur perspective. I only think of stacking and bullion collecting as a general, reasonably tangible and relatively safe way to &#039;invest&#039; so to speak (for the average Joe if you will). As an amateur, I see very little that is tangible in the long term. I primarily see quick profit, short term &#039;investing&#039; by large corporate conglomerates. As an amateur, I feel the rug has been collectively pulled out fro the average Joe, leaving only the very wealthy and the big corporate players. I no longer see purpose in long term investing in whatever realm corporate America says we all should be engaged in. I see the relative same thing that day do only on a much smaller scale. I see quick profit, taking for the sake of taking and investing in nothing (certainly not anything requiring anything long term). I realize the wealthy corporate mega profiteers will always be wealthy and that&#039;s just the way it is. Unfortunately, I think the leaves America as a whole largely insolvent and apt to crumble altogether. There is no &#039;future&#039; any more. There is only quick profit at the expense of whomever happens to be the victim of whatever dogma the corporate entities &#039;claim&#039; that is good. I see nationwide destruction. I see short term gains for the very few. That cannot be good for the country, and we now have a President (without getting political) that endorses utilizing bankruptcy, screwing people out of their hard earned work result and mega profit for those only that can afford to play. That leaves out most of America now more so than at any time in our history (in my humble opinion). Consequently, I see PM&#039;s as one of the few remaining tangible things that the &#039;average Joe&#039; can participate in at all. I think pm&#039;s are obviously manipulated and undervalued, not aligning at all with the cost of actual, average Joe, day to day living. That&#039;s why I see PM&#039;s as all the poor man has to grab hold up because everything else has been either outsourced, destroyed or otherwise sold off for those few that can play. The disconnect is most glaring today with current &#039;corporate&#039; attitudes more than ever. The country is destined to fail horribly and I see nothing of any value that the aj can grab hold of. It has to go up and the pyramid scheme HAS TO CRASH, and it will. So, grab hold of something tangible is what I say and watch the crash. It&#039;ll happen, and soon. Our leadership embraces it and the middle class can&#039;t take any more and the corporate profiteers show zero signs of either wanting or being able to slow down for the overall country&#039;s sake. Depression is a foregone conclusion and unfortunately history always repeats itself. This bubble is primed to burst.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
